Kenji Yoshino elected to Harvard University's Board of Overseers

Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law, is one of five newly elected members of Harvard University's Board of Overseers. Created in 1642, the Board of Overseers is the larger of Harvard's two governing bodies, the other being the President and Fellows of Harvard College. The 30 Overseers, nominated by the Harvard Alumni Association and elected by their fellow alumni for six-year terms, exert broad influence over Harvard's strategic vision, including its overall agenda and priorities, the quality of its educational and research programs, and issues relating to policy and planning.
